This was a perfect stay with our toddler. Five mins from anything we wanted to do but away from the hustle on a quiet street. As others have noted, photos are old and don’t do it justice. Would absolutely stay again!

We loved the quiet neighborhood that was just a short drive to the beaches. The house was nice and our family was comfortable with amenities provided. We felt that our toddler was safe in the house and back yard which of course, was very important to us. Our host was very accommodating and a pleasure to talk to.
